Eat This Bread
An Upper Room Did Our Lord Prepare
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:26-28 Lyrics: 1 An upper room did our Lord prepare
For those He loved until the end:
And His disciples still gather there,
To celebrate their risen Friend.
2 A lasting gift Jesus gave His own;
To share His bread, His loving cup.
Whatever burdens may bow us down,
He by His cross shall lift us up.
3 And after supper He washed their feet,
For service, too, is sacrament.
In Christ our joy shall be made complete:
Sent out to serve, as He was sent.
4 No end there is! We depart in peace,
He loves beyond our uttermost:
In every room in our Father's house
Christ will be there, as Lord and Host.

O the agonizing prayer
This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping
Author: Peter Abelard (1079-1142); Richard Lyman Sturch (b. 1936) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:14-27 Lyrics: 1 This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping,
when powers of darkness overcome the day,
the night the faithful mourn the weight of evil
whereby our sins the Son of Man betray.
2 This night the traitor, wolf within the sheepfold,
betrays himself into his victim's will;
the Lamb of God for sacrifice preparing,
sin brings about the cure for sin's own ill.
3 This night Christ institutes his holy supper,
blest food and drink for heart and soul and mind;
this night injustice joins its hand to treason's,
and buys the ransom-price of humankind.
4 This night the Lord by slaves shall be arrested,
he who destroys our slavery to sin;
accused of crime, to criminals be given,
that judgement on the righteous Judge begin.
5 O make us sharers, Saviour, of your Passion,
that we may share your glory that shall be;
let us pass through these three dark nights of sorrow
to Easter's laughter and its liberty. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Maundy Thursday Used With Tune: INTERCESSOR

robed in dreadful majesty;
those who set at naught and sold him,
pierced, and nailed him to the tree,
deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply wailing,
shall the true Messiah see.

still his glorious body bears:
cause of endless exultation
to his ransomed worshipers:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
See! the day of God appears.
4 Yea, amen, let all adore you,
high on your eternal throne:
Saviour, take the power and glory,
claim the kingdom for your own:
oh, come quickly, oh, come quickly, oh, come quickly,
Alleluia! come, Lord, come! Topics: Christ Risen Coming Again; Christ Incarnate Promise of the Messiah Used With Tune: HELMSLEY

There Is a Green Hill Far Away
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 695 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:35 Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away
outside a city wall,
where the dear Lord was crucified
who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell
what pains he had to bear,
but we believe it was for us
he hung and suffered there.
3 There was no other good enough
to pay the price of sin;
he only could unlock the gate
of heav'n and let us in.
4 O dearly, dearly has he loved,
and we must love him too,
and trust in his redeeming power,
and try his works to do.

Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869 Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 522 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27:54-56 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I gladly take my stand–
the shadow of a mighty Rock
within a weary land,
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat,
and the burden of the day.
2 Upon that cross of Jesus
my eye at times can see
the very dying form of One
who suffered there for me;
and from my smitten heart with tears
two wonders I confess–
the wonders of redeeming love
and my unworthiness.
3 I take, O cross, your shadow
for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
the sunshine of his face,
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss,
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all the cross. Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER

Breathe on Me, Breath of God
Author: Edwin Hatch Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 338 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:39 Lyrics: 1 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
fill me with life anew,
that I may love what thou dost love,
and do what thou wouldst do.
2 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
until my heart is pure,
until my will is one with thine,
to do and to endure.
3 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
till I am wholly thine,
until this earthly part of me
glows with thy fire divine.
4 Breathe on me, Breath of God,
so shall I never die,
but live with thee the perfect life
of thine eternity.

O Come and Mourn with Me Awhile
Author: Frederick W. Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 216 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27:50 Refrain First Line: Jesus our Lord, is crucified Lyrics: 1 O come and mourn with me awhile;
O come ye to the Savior's side;
O come, together let us mourn:
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified!
2 Sev'n times he spake, sev'n words of love;
and all three hours his silence cried
for mercy on the souls of men;
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
3 O break, O break, hard heart of mine!
Thy weak self-love and guilty pride
his Pilate and his Judas were:
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified!
4 A broken heart, a fount of tears,
ask, and they will not be denied;
a broken heart love's cradle is:
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified!
5 O love of God! O sin of man!
In this dread act your strength is tried,
and victory remains with love:
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified!
